NOTE: this is being written at the end of the first week of classes
York is interesting in that, not only do it’s classes begin a week before most other universities, it’s frosh week also beings much earlier.
Frosh week was a blast; to start, on move in day, the frosh bosses carried all your stuff to your room. It is a really useful service when you consider that I live of the fourth floor and there are no elevators.
Probably the best event for Winter’s frosh (other than quad parties from 12 until 4 in the morning, then getting up at 8 ) was the downtown tour that we did. Most of that involved getting security called on us and being forced to disperse. Part of the downtown tour was going in front of the Much Music station during one of their live broadcasts, and getting the hosts to come out and interact with the crowd. Below is a video of said event:
Following that,the CN Tower was good and I got well acquainted with the glass floor (too bad I don’t have photos). For diner, a group of us went to one of the preeminent jazz clubs in Toronto: The Rex. For any jazz lovers, I highly recommend going there, the covers cheap (5 to 10 dollars), the food is good and the music is great. They have a live band every night and on Tuesdays, after the house band has played their set, the floor is open to who ever can play.
All in all, I would say that my experiences with Winter’s frosh was extremely positive and I will definitely apply to be a frosh boss next year.
Until next time!
